Our national civil defense program, having weathered the storm over the controversial and contradictory question of whether to run or hide, evacuate or shelter, is still faced with another problem which it has had for the past several years. The problem is waste. The waste is needless. Funds appropriated for civil defense are being frittered away in a manner which would be humorous were the consequences not so grave. Currently the federal government spends $120,000 a day or roughly $45 million a year for civil defense. Over and above this the Federal Civil Defense Administration is the disburser of millions of dollars worth of surplus government equipment. Allowing for the value of this equipment the agency’s budget weighs in somewhere near 10 or 80 million dollars. Roughly the budget is distributed hs follows: 25% — appropriated to states with the provision that states supply additional funds. 46% — surplus property given to states. The agency pays the transportation and handling costs. . 27% — stockpiling of items considered necessary for civil defense. 2% — research. Much of this money is alloted to other agencies making studies related to civil defense. u. In each of these areas a sizeable amount is drawn off for salaries and expenses of officials. This sizeable amount is roughly 60% of the appropriated finances. Some 40% of the agency’s personnel draw SIO,OOO or more a year. “Surplus property’” accounts for the next greatest waste. Since the founding of the civil defense program in 1950 some SBO million in surplus property has been distributed to local civil defense agencies. An unbelieveable variety of material has been dispersed — everything from trucks and office equipment to razor blades, shotguns and even horseshoes.— Distribution is far from equal. In Illinois, the town of Carpentersville (population, 12,000) received $345,000 worth of surplus property, more than was given the whole Chicago school system. But the last ~ straw was yet to fall. Federal authorities rather belatedly discovered that some SBO,OOO of this equipment had somehow been channeled into the hands of a Carpentersville contracter who was using it to construct a local housing development. And at civil defense headquarters in Washington, Senate investigators have found thousands of dollars worth of ‘‘stockpiled” property rusting and deteriorating — much of it beneath undistributed pamphlets and literature. Funds appropriated to the states have also been pitifully wasted. The city of Columbus, Ohio spent $700,000 on a traffic light control system which supposedly would facilitate evacuation. Issued at the same time was a four and a half pound, two-inch thick “evacuation manual.” Any resident who bothered to struggle through this came away with the enilightening knowledge that, upon hearing an attack warning, he was to jump in his car and leave by the , shortest possible route. The manual neglected to explain just what would motivate the resident to stop for a red light when fleeing a nuclear attack. But all bungling is not done on the local level. Jn 1956, when it was a budget of S6B million, the Federal Civil‘Defense Administration proudly pointed out in its annual report that it had given civil defense instructions in 14 cities to a grand total of 1824 persons. Such prodigality must cease. Taxpayers’ dollars are being wasted. The citizens of this country are contributing tax dollars to support such frivolity while needed stated anl local projects go begging for lack of funds. * ■"M'paMwnyi'iqg Meanwhile individuals and private concerns are reaping wholesale benefits from the program. Untold quantities of federal surplus property have been commandeered or have strayed into private use. Much of this property has been found in the homes and businesses of civil defense officials in various communities. All of this is at taxpayers’ expense. But the greatest evil is that being lullabied into a crade of false security, resting contentedly in the assurance that they are safe because their government “is speriding $75,000,000 a year on civil defense.” r*.— ■ • ■ ’ ■ % Editorial written by —...

Writer Discusses Teen-Age Smoking

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International “I can’t quit smoking—but I wish my kids wouldn’t start it.” That wistful statement has become a familiar refrain among American parents. How to keep teen-agers from picking up the cigarette habit now ranks just behind getting them into college on the list of things that conscientious -mothers and fathers worry about. In an effort to shed some light on this national problem, the U.S. Children’s Bureau consulted all sorts of expoerts—including a lot of teen-agers from all parts of the country. Its findings have just been published in a pamphlet entitled: “Your Teen-Age Children and Smoking." Not Comforting Parents may find this pamphlet helpful, but they won’t find it comforting. The Children’s Bureau Igys on the line medical facts which it considers to be established beyond reasonable argument: “If your child smokes cigarettes, chances are much greater that he will die of lung cancer, or chronic bronchitis, or emphysema. or coronary heart disease. I "The earlier your boy or giri starts cigarette smoking, the greater the chances he will become a heavy smoker and develop the habit of inhaling, which further increases the risk of early disability and a shortened life. The longer he puts Plcnle Table Cover You can avoid the common annoyance of having the picnic table cloth from constantly blowing and flapping about if you will weight it ddwn with toWel rods inserted in the hems at each end of the cloth.

off starting smoking, or the sooner he can break the habit, the greater his chance of avoiding that fate." So, what can parents do about it? Again, the Children’s Bureau minces no words: “If you want your child never to smoke, or to give it up if he already smokes, don’t smoke yourself.” Most Important Influence This advice Is based on a virtually universal finding that the most important infuence on a child’s decision about smoking is the example of his parents. Having said that, the Children’s Bureau shows a little compassion for the parent who has tried in vain to give up smoki ing. “If you smoke and are not able to stop smoking,” it says, “be frank with your children about that. Tell them that you wish you could stop, but that you canT. Tell them that you hope they will never get themselves in such a fix. Tell them that when you started to smoke you didn’t have the facts that you now have; that it is possible that you have cut off years of life by your own smoking. Say that it is so hhrd to give up cigarettes that that in itself is one good argument for never starting smoking.” Avoid Glib Talk But don’t figure to get away with glfbtalk — even the hum-ble-pie kind. “Along with the words,” says the Children’s Bureau sternly, ■'you must make as strong an effort as possible to at least cut down on the number of cigar- . ettes you smoke. Try to stop inhaling so much and so deeply.” Above * all, “if you make a bargain with your child about his not smoking or your not smoking, never break your end of it.” If your child catches you hiding in the garage to catch a few puffs, you might as well

go out and buy him a carton of his own. The pamphlet, and a companion one for teen-agers themselves, entitled “Smoking, Health and You,” can be purchased from the US. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C. price of each is 15 cents a copy.
